[pchelpers] Re: database

Name, email, birth year, maiden name. Now you could use a throwaway email
address as most should have I think, but many will input their only email, &
the other info. A large database of that info is one more bank for some
Neanderthal to abuse. They look to be legit & have instituted safeguards but
so have others who lost cc #'s, etc. And what is the great benefit to the
legitimate user to be part of such a database?
